Facebook unbans crypto ads? Are they planning to launch their own crypto?

[silviyako]

I tjink they are trying to make their own coin. Probably for facebook. To buy services maybe within their app. Just like what they tried years ago but failed miserably.

It is very good that they have lifted that banned because it would have disrupted the activities of bounty hunters who were promoting the activities of ICOs on facebook. But i don't think we can conclude that Facebook is planning to launch is own crypto i guess we have to be patient and observe them for a while.

They have plan to release their own cryptocurrency, but still no more information untill now

[jennyshefard]

Yes it’s a good news for this crypto market because facebook unban crypto currency ads. But i am sure that they don’t launch any crypto currency. Because they already has a great platform.

[rotinsuly]

i hope facebook has been planned somethink on crypto

[Grayy]

When I saw this news all I could think about was how revolutionary cryptocurrencies are. People fear disruptive and spellbinding technologies that will give power to everyone who wants to be powerful. This is good news. Tech firms should realise how important this technology is.

Facebook need the money, they make a lot from crypto ads

[makenoise]

It has not been confirmed that Facebook will launch its own electronic money but they are not restricting ads related to encryption. They have banned such ads in the first place to protect users from multiple scams and phishing attempts. On the other hand I have read that they have given up such an idea because it has no business case.

Zuckerberg has long stated that they are very actively using the technology of blockchain

[Sarastiche]

Everyone has been waiting and expecting facebook to launch its own ICO base on the founders believe in blockchain technology, I forsee major organization in the technological space launching there own token/ICO  in order to remain relevant and expand there development, facebook ban on crypto ads, has not much effect on the crypto space, else that migth be the reason why they unban crypto ads on the site

Zuckerberg has long stated that they are very actively using the technology of blockchain

No he didn't stated that "long". He has posted it at the end of December 2017 that he gets interested to crypto's and blockchain technology as well so I don't think that's "long".

Facebook need the money, they make a lot from crypto ads

Chosen crypto related services only, excluding ICOs and other scam schemes.

I don't see Facebook launching its own currency for whatever reason. One of the ways projects launches their own crypto currency is mostly to raise funds to finance their projects just like a coming coming to the stock market to raise fund and issue shares to subscribers. In the case if Facebook they are pretty doing well with Mark ranking top among billionaires in the world so the option of coming to raise fund is really out of the equation.

Another reason is to encourage decentralisation and anonymity which Facebook by default does not have. One first place to check on anybody is the Facebook after that fails, you start to consider other options so it surely do fail on that end. I am much open to them having a form coin that can only be used on Facebook maybe for games or ads other than that, nothing else.

It could happen and they launch their own crypto, because I'm sure that way it can benefit many things, and I think that's a very good idea for them to do.

[neite99]

I don`t know and haven`t heard whether they are planning it or not but obviously they seem to get back into investing in crypto world as the price is in dip now and somehow it has to be promoted, so the issue here is only money in my opinion.

Facebook conditionally unbans crypto ads except ICOs but are not letting crypto post to boost, Cointelegraph.
Are they planning to launch their own crpto messenger app?

Of my opinion, Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies in general, may start to see more positivity slowly as more regulations are passed. Bitcoin is still relatively unknown to many people outside of 1st and 2nd world countries. It will take years for adoption to take place because it requires a person to be somewhat educated to a degree, in order to fully grasp the concept.
   If I tried to explain it to my grandmother, she'll look at me somewhat puzzled. The interface must change significantly before massive adoption can take place.
